Abstract
Substances having biological activity in ruminants, e.g. nutrients, medicaments and diagnostics, are protected during passage through the rumen with a fatty acid having at least 14 carbon atoms. These acids, which preferably form a continuous outer coating around the biologically active substance, are resistant to rumen conditions but release the active substance lower down the digestive tract where the fatty acids can also be utilised nutritionally.
